About Brian

I have been a fitness fanatic my entire life. Growing up, I played football, soccer, basketball and baseball. Out of high school, I was recruited to play both soccer and baseball. I decided to accept the baseball scholarship, specializing as a pitcher during college. My love of fitness and sports led me to pursue a career as a Physical Education / Health teacher & coach. Over the past 8 years, I have had the pleasure of teaching some amazing students in the classroom. Currently I teach 3 year olds (PK3) - 5th grade students for DC Public Schools. During this time I have also coached soccer,

boys & girls basketball, baseball, and softball teams. I have conducted numerous 1-1 sessions with student athletes focusing on their strengths and areas for growth. The past 3 years, I have coached Crossfit classes in Arlington, VA.

I have a Masters Degree in Global Communication from George Washington University, having graduated with a 3.75 GPA. Fluent in English, French and Farsi (reading and writing), semi-fluent in Spanish. I also have a Bachelors Degree in International Relations from North Carolina State University, graduating Cum Laude with a 3.6 GPA.

My passion is and always has been sharing my the disciplines I've committed myself to with people.

I am a scholar, athlete, and musician. My focus in academics and athletics paved the road to my professional career, with music being the first discipline I set my mind to. Commitment to these disciplines have taught me the key skills that have helped me succeed and make it to this point in my life: focus, dedication, and a thirst for learning. These three qualities trump any natural talent anyone claims to have.

Pedram is a fantastic guitar teacher and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their playing and their understanding of music.

Pedram's lessons combine practical, concrete guitar-playing advice with more advanced instruction on music theory. Together, these have made me a much stronger performer. He's also a really friendly and fun guy. I think he's a great teacher for beginners, intermediates, and experienced players alike.

Pedram is a fantastic and inspiring teacher. His easy way of explaining chord structures gives me hope that I will not just be able to play along with tabs, but also improvise on my own very soon. I always feel energized and confident after an hour with Pedram, and the training exercises he gives me to practice are really challenging, but skill-building as well.

Definitely hire Pedram if you want to learn guitar like a master!

Tara was wonderful when working with my boys. She was always on time, never cancelled and was always smiling. She was gentle and guided them through each project. I would highly recommend Tara to anyone who wanted a personal, quality lesson in art.
